I on Selectmen

PattyRoggeveen

The Board of Selectmen are holding a workshop at 9 a.m. this morning, Oct. 31, in the town building conference room to discuss potential new revenue sources for the town.

Note: There will not be a regular selectmen's meeting tonight because it is the fifth Wednesday of the month. The next meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. in the Town Building court room.

AT ITS MEETING ON OCT. 24, THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN FIRST CONVENED AS THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND:

• Unanimously accepted a sidewalk easement over portions of South Beach and Seas streets where Nantucket Island Resorts is building condominium hotel units.

• Unanimously ratified a determination regarding a financial interest disclosure for the Nantucket member of the Steamship Authority, H. Flint Ranney. The financial interest involves the SSA's free transportation policy for current and former Authority members and their spouses. The commissioners wrote the State Ethics Commission that it is not believed that Ranney's financial interest is substantial enough to affect his participation as an SSA board member in discussions on this policy.

CONVENING AS THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN, MEMBERS:

• Unanimously denied a request from Nantucket Airport for a waiver of a building permit fee for its terminal expansion project.

• Unanimously approved a citizen request for a waiver from street opening regulations regarding the sewer line for The House of Seven Gables on Cliff Road.

• Unanimously approved a Town Administrator's request for a vote regarding town-owned parcels at the landfill. Pursuant to a vote to pass Article 77 at the 2007 Annual Town Meeting, the selectmen voted to maintain custody of three parcels at the landfill owned by the town and merge them as a single parcel for zoning purposes. The property is being used for solid waste disposal.

• Unanimously approved a request for clarification of language regarding pending legislation approved at the 2007 Annual Town Meeting. One bill relates to allowing the town and Nantucket Land Bank to release and transfer their property interests to each other, in particular with regard to a 60 acre area near Bunker Road. The second bill allows the town to convey an easement over 43 Eel Point Road to 39 Eel Point Road for access and utilities, in exchange for an easement for public access to the beach.
